Dale Jr. Reacts To Record-Breaking NASCAR Fine After Ricky Stenhouse-Kyle Busch Fight 

I agree, Nascar makes money 💰 off this fight. Hey Nascar REMOVE the fight video from you YT channel, hypocrites!!!

Good point

Some good common sense right there

Yep. Thank you for saying it.

Agreed, when there is no passing it’s lame NASCAR has made the cars garbage

That’s my issue as well.

He couldn’t leave the track if there was no walk under or over at that track once you’re on the track you’re on the track

Great point

He was waiting at the 8 cars hauler which is probably the reason the penalty was harsher.

Thats my whole point. He had couldnt leave and he made it ckear in the interview something was gonna happen. Nobody from nascar came over to him and tried to talk to him?. And then they were shocked when it did happen so penalize him?. They used it to promote the sport and then penalize the guy they used sounds so hypocritical.

That would make sense, if promoting the fight incentives more fights, but they don’t. If drivers want to fight they’re gonna do it

They should absolutely use it for promo. Gets more eyes on the sport

I couldn't agree more. It makes no sense to penalize and promote. Make the racing content better so you're not promoting an illegal activity to gain ratings. Get it together NASCAR

EXACTLY!!!

True. Chase got a one race suspension for wrecking Hamlin on purpose last year.

@@marty0063 so did Bubba.

Because he technically didnt admit that it was intentional

@@KatschingAUT kyle did admit in an interview today he wrecked stenhouse intentionally

Thing is, Kyle DID admit to getting into him intentionally, but he also stated he wasn't trying to wreck him. Stenhouse did what he usually does. Junked himself. He overcorrected *hard* and drove it into the wall. Ricky put himself in that position on lap one pulling a move that was stupid. He may not have touched Kyle going 3 wide, but it would've happened eventually. Watch the incident closely on a replay. Was Kyle's reaction a little much? Absolutely. But comparing it to the Chase v Hamlin right hook isn't even in the same ballpark. I should note: I've been an HMS lifelong fan since the early 90's when I was little, and I am very much NOT a fan of Denny Hamlin. But what Chase did by right hooking Denny? That was unprofessional, stupid, and low. I was disappointed in one of my favorite drivers, and his suspension was well-earned. Ricky and his crew played a stupid game, and won a stupid prize. He announced on camera hours before that he intended on retaliating after the race. Had plenty of time for cooler heads to prevail, and he still socked him in the kisser. NASCAR has fined this sort of behavior before. See Crafton vs Sanchez. And Ricky's crew members AND dad jumped Kyle. Dude barely got a chance to defend himself with ol' pops having him in a headlock thinking he was in the WWE! The fine may be a bit steep, but I think it was still well deserved, and nothing Kyle did was worthy of a fine. (But it was still a stupid retaliation.) They both had a right to be upset, though. I'll give them that. Also: I don't see the issue with NASCAR using it in promotional material. They've always done that with fights. Just seems like a lot of "Fans" are wanting to be upset over nothing, as usual.

I agree. When it was the France's game it all came down to one man's decision and what was good for his circus. Now that it's a board that makes the calls and everyone's eye is on the money, it's pot luck what you get.

I agree. I also think the year they reduced the horsepower for the Gen 6 car in 2015 then got rid of it in 2021 was the end to me. They're trying to be something they weren't meant to be.

I think it may be time to shut it down and save all that gas that gets wasted every weekend.

They have wussies that couldn’t drive a go cart making the rules. Brian started that stupid stuff. He should have kept up his dad & granddad legacy and love of the sport. Just like the idiots who came up with the LA Coliseum, putting Daniel Juarez as a commentator, and the bullshyt about electric cars , they have to be backed by bigger idiots like Democrats lol

Seriously Nascar is shot to help its not what it has been for quite a while...they bounce around with rules and what they want drivers to be from week to week...its ridiculous knowing that Ricky was waiting for Kyle and not keeping him from doing is on Nascar...the whole thing stinks

Good one😂

He was last year’s Daytona 500 champ. He earned a spot.

You mean when they re-invented rules every year to get Godhardt Jr into the race, while he was going through a losing streak that would have gotten any non-Godhardt fired into the sun?

He won the 2023 Daytona 500. He earned his way into the 2024 All Star Race.

He qualified by having a win so…

He had no choice but to stick around and nascar heard the same post wreck interview and let it happened and THIS right here is why. Nonstop Covered since then.

NASCAR execs don't control the NASCAR marketing team...

​@@Glitchunlockedoh yes they do, at the end of the day the buck stops with the higher ups

@spencerwright600 The execs cannot control every action of every employee. This isn't a 10 employee company.

Nascar is woke and sensitive feelings organization.

No it’s the 11 employee company

I agree

See my thing is Nascar's social media Team posted it on their Social's and anywhere else whereas the fine came from a Higer up official a Social Influence person cant do the Fines and stuff

@@RedBeardedJoe that does make sense, but if that’s the case NASCAR’s gotta have a chit chat to get everyone on the same page

@@CD-rt8wj i agree with you they should have a Chit Chat with all of there Employees in the Social Media side but who knows if that will actually happen the person that tweeted it probably enjoyed the fight companies as in general has someone else Posting stuff either from NASCAR or something they want to post

@@RedBeardedJoe Nascar has always played favorites and been Hypocrites.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Had he not gone to the media and pre meditated it. It would have been better. But he ran his mouth, telling everyone what he was going to do. I personally thing it should had been more just for the conspiracy

I agree. Bidenflation everywhere

rules are rules he also amditted to it before doing it

@@Robert.420 go look up definition of conspiracy lol. 2 or more together conspiring to commit a crime. And it was kyles fault he had to wait so long since he wrecked him on lap 2.

@@NickyD If kyle hadn't played stupid to him and apologized I doubt he would have got punched. Kyle wouldn't admit it to Ricky but today he admitted it was on purpose in an interview. I would have punched his ass too!

Exactly! And nascar is making a bundle of money off of this! They should pay Stenthouse because let’s admit it since a lot of the big drivers have left racing has gotten boring imo. This was free publicity for NASCAR plus they got $75,000 out of the deal!

Have at it means on track paybacks and opening a can of whoop ass when that don't work, nascar lost it's roots, it's Yankee corporate and changing things every year, it's basically daytime soap drama now.

Racing has gotten boring since "the big drivers have left?" What planet are you on, NASCAR has had the two closest finishes in the 76 year history of the sport happen twice in this season alone. The racing is better than it's ever been. Gawd, you need to start living in the now.

That's what I'm talking about he should be fined also,

Because Kyle Busch is a big baby and NASCAR will have to hear him whine about it for the rest of the season.

The wrecks themselves were totally different, not even in the same league. It didn't even look like Kyle wanted to wreck Stenhouse, only bump him out of the way. KB knows how to wreck people, I think he would have drove it in much harder if that was his aim.

Sunday Night's Alright for Fighting

The real Rocket Man.

😂

🤮

Elton Sawyer who who the fack is that

EXACTLY.....

He should have been rewarded for not putting up with Speed Racist's slaaaiiiidddd joooooaaaabbs that were running drivers into the fence all the time.

Didn't Richard Childress get fined $100k when he punched Kyle Busch years ago ? Remember hold my watch ?

@@handcrankwrecker5818 Yeah, he did. As soon as Stenhouse referenced that in his FOX post-crash interview, I knew he was going to smoke Busch after the race, hahaha.

@dburton7929 keep crying pssy

Good question.

True just like Noah and Ross last year I Don’t think had fines

It probably took the $75k fine to get Kyle to agree to not press charges against Stenhouse, remember his brother Kurt tried to press criminal charges in Michigan against Jimmy Spencer after he punched Kurt in the nose after the race...lmao

Hell yaaaa totally 👍🏻 💯 %

Agreed as the racing was lackluster with no passing. Very sad for a All Star race

Danica's yeast infection will complain.

You expect consistency? From NASCAR?

not gonna happen kryl is there titty baby the chosen 1

I do too.

Take the car key out of your ear he never said that

Huge difference between a casual fan with pit access versus a father taking up for his son

Why did he need his dad ?​@@beefmalone

Kyle intentionally tried to severely injure his son in the car and was proud to do it. Do we want this to escalate to Ricky dump him at 200 at Daytona?

@@CC.94 because like when Joey L. had his dad fight for him, they're both spoiled lil frkin brats!

The father of someone who’s competing is way more than a “fan with good seats” lmao

Did the punch even land?

Add Biden nomic's to that equation = 75k

15k was not 25k 20 years ago lol. Maybe 3 years ago

​@@j.l.h.2650and some m2 Bradley's and actams

Should make zero difference

So NASCAR knew for 198 laps and did nothing?

Exactly. I it was pre meditated with intent for violence. I disagree with NASCAR, but this is why the fine is so high. It gets compared to Chastain/Gragson but Gragson grabbed Chastain, who was then obligated to defend himself.

@@bobbydouglas153I think they are setting a precedent here more than they are disciplining Ricky. I think they are saying to all the drivers, if you have time to cool down, time to come to your senses, you had better not go in swinging. It’s a totally different deal if you’re fresh out of the car on pit road, heat of the moment, emotions running high. Ricky planned that whole deal, had his pit guys there, his dad, he had full intention of beating Kyle’s ass. He had 200 laps to think about it.

Plenty of drivers have said over the radio “I’m gonna whoop his ass after race” than fought after a race. That’s pre-meditated too but they didn’t in trouble 🤷🏼‍♂️

Especially since he literally wasn’t touched by Ricky when he says he was put in the wall. Busch wrecked him without reason.

It's stupid he shoulda got the same thing

Years ago when Kyle hooked Hornady it was the worst.

Kyle Busch is the # 1 reason I quit watching . He has been wrecking people for years and nothing ever happens to Kyle. Nascar is a joke !!!

Rubbins racing ! Boys

He bumped him. That’s racing.

Agreed! Kyle hooked Stenhouse into the wall, not just "bumped" him. Luckily, there weren't more cars taken out than just Stenhouse.

Kyle's the best 😂😂😂

@@rogemorris7655 at excuses and whining sure ...

@@Edge1775kyle have 200+ win across all 3 series. How much does wrecky spinhouse have ohh yeah not much 😂😏

Exactly!

Agreed. Had he not said nothing and went to talk, then punch prob would have gotten away with it. Bit he was all hot-headed and went for media covage

@@Robert.420please explain how sitting in your hauler waiting to fight, and sitting in your car waiting till the race is over to get out of your cars and fight is different? They talked and then fought. If Ricky finished the race with Kyle they would have got out of their cars, talked and then fought. How is that not identical?

@patrickwhite4449 premeditated/ intent. See the difference. He should have shut his mouth, not told nobody, and then it happened he probably wouldn't been fined. Gordon, Brad fight was awsome. Heat of the moment. Not sit there and premeditat for 2 hrs. 🤣

@patrickwhite4449 had ricky finished the race it wouldn been a fight anyway so your question is irrelevant.

@patrickwhite4449 another thing. Had he stayed in his car. Not ran hit mouth to media. Most fans wouldn't even know then fight .Basically, he shouldn't have run his gator. And went up. Then fight. Then cool. But to run to media. Ohhh. Watch what ima do after race. See the difference yet. Or do you need me to help you out more?

And free beer between rounds

HAHAHA! Ricky would have annihilated the shrub!

There will be no fine for Kyle. Frankly, Ricky should not have been fined either IMO - let the drivers sort it out between themselves. Agree 100% with all the suspensions for the #47 crew and the dad. Again, let the drivers sort it out between themselves. Clearly the biggest takeaway was whoever the RCR crew guy is that was slinging folks off the truck after the incident is certainly not a person to F with. Now I understand why Kyle has not publicly bashed the crew guys for poor performance this year. Nobody wants to piss that dude off lol.

Kyle was in a car, on the same lap, in a race….. aka boys have at it and reprimand poor behavior by a champion who did all this stupid stuff years ago and learned…. The 47 clan plus pops decided to get a lb of flesh, and they went to 8 pits to sucker punch after talking instead of man to man it was sucker punch then daddy sucker punch… why do you think the fine was up there? They didn’t press charges on the old man so pay up or argue whatever…. But sheesh stick up for a sucker punch family and victim blaming…. Yup 👍🏼

His dad is not part of the crew, so he was basically a fan.

fact that no driver is taking his side speaks volumes about what those in the sport think of KB.

Rubbings racing. Unless its done to try and injure or in extreme cases.

It's hilariously ironic that you're complaining about this on Dale Earnhardt Jr's channel... did you ever watch his dad race? lmfao

@@Glitchunlocked from the qualifying to the checker

Ever watch the 90’s or 2000’s races, they would knock a rookie for a spin just to get a caution….

Stenhouse needs to turn him at charlotte... (not right hook)

It’s one thing right after an incident, it’s another to Broadcast it in TV , wait 2 hrs and not expect punishment. Like Denny admitting to wrecking Ross and NASCAR handing him a penalty.

AMEN

the image they been trying to get away from for 2 decades

Nascar is greedy..

It's because NASCAR didnt levy the fines and suspensions, based off the fight itself. Ricky had talked about hitting Kyle and then he and his crew, set Kyle up to be ambushed.. This was dirty on Ricky and his crew.

@@deliriouswhome1It was, but NASCAR Wa sparsely at fault for not having crowd control there knowing he could not leave.

Totally agree!!!

Yep dead on they shouldn’t even release to news outlets either. Never show it on promos or best of shows. What a joke!!

If I'm Ricky, I'm collecting royalties for that footage.

If they are going to fine Stenhouse, Nascar should quit talking about the fight, not promote it as quickly as they did about the garage door pull rope.

@gullreefclub while 75k is excessive they did fine matt crafton 25k in the truck series for the exact same thing and the cup series is the elite of nascar and make about 4x the money that the truck series make but at least there "trying" to be consistent
